Big Day for Mertes as Bums Down Gothams, 8-5
Los Angeles first baseman Sam Mertes made his presence felt in the 8-5 Bums triumph over the New York Gothams. Mertes was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Ed Walsh got the win, improving to 7-4. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 7 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 1. Shinya Matsuyama was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 18 of 21 save opportunities.

Los Angeles used a timely hit from Bryan Reynolds to get the win. The right fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bums ahead, 8-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Mertes.

The Gothams, now 28-38, have lost 6 in a row.
